Thunder Bay Shores Marina is a public boat ramp in Alpena County, Michigan, on Lake Huron. From here SeaStatus scores one water: Presque Isle Light to Sturgeon Pt MI Including Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
The main water here is Presque Isle Light to Sturgeon Pt MI Including Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Nearshore water is scored mostly on wind and wave height, with wave steepness and the tidal current counting too. A current running against the wind is treated as worse than either one alone. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 45162, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 9075065. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 6.4 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
